Kua whakaaro koe ki te āhua o te putanga mai o tō reo, me pēhea te hanganga o ēnei kupu ina kōrero, ina waiata tātou? He wāhanga iti engari he mea nui o tō tātou korokoro e āwhina nui ana ki tēnei. Ko te ingoa o taua wāhanga ko te glottis. Kāore pea koe i rongo i tēnei ingoa i mua. Engari kāore he aha, i tēnei rā ka kōrerohia e tātou he kōrero māmā noa iho.

Nā, he aha te mea e tupu ana i roto i tēnei glottis? He aha te mea nui ki ō tātou tinana?

He whakarāpopototanga noa iho, ko tō glottis te wāhi kei waenganui o tō pouaka reo , o tō larynx rānei. Koinei te wāhi kei reira ō taura reo (ngā kopa reo rānei). Kei roto hoki i tēnei ko te wāhi i waenganui i aua taura reo me te kiriuhi e neke ana i a rātou.

He tokomaha e whakaaro ana ko te korokoro he pouaka noa iho kei roto ngā taura reo e hanga ana i te reo. Heoi, o ngā wāhanga o te korokoro, kei tēnei wāhanga anake e kiia nei ko te glottis ō taura reo. Nā tēnei glottis me ngā taura reo ka taea e koe te kōrero me te whakaputa oro ka taea e ētahi atu te mōhio ki a koe.

E toru ngā mahi matua a te glottis:

1. Āwhina i a koe ki te manawa: I te nuinga o te wā, ka tuwhera ō taura reo i te āhua o te "V" i roto i te glottis. Ina manawa koe ki roto, ka haere te hau mai i tō ihu, i tō waha rānei mā roto i ēnei taura reo tuwhera ki roto i tō puku manawa, ki roto hoki i ō pukahukahu. Ina manawa koe ki waho, ka noho tuwhera tonu ngā taura reo.

2. Ārai i te kai kei uru ki roto i ngā pukahukahu: Ina horomia e koe tetahi mea, ka kati te epiglottis, he wāhanga rite ki te papa o runga o tō larynx, i te tomokanga ki te larynx. Kātahi ka heke te kai ki raro i tō esophagus, kaua ki tō pūhā. I taua wā anō, ka kati hoki ō taura reo ki roto i te glottis. Ko tētahi atu tikanga haumaru tēnei e ārai ana i te kai kei uru ki te ara manawa. Whakaarohia te uaua o te mea mena ka uru he kai, he wai rānei ki roto i tō pūhā! Kei reira tēnei tikanga hei ārai i tēnā mea.

3. Āwhina i a koe ki te whakaputa oro: Ina tīmata koe ki te kōrero, ki te waiata rānei, ka kōpiri ō taura reo, ka kati. Ka uru te hau e puta mai ana i ō pūkahukahu ki te wāhi i raro i ngā taura reo, ā, ina kaha te rere o te hau, ka tīmata te wiri o ngā taura reo. Ko taua wiri te mea e hanga ana i ngā ngaru oro. Ka taea e koe te kōrero me te whakaputa i ngā oro rerekē nā ngā wiri e puta ana i roto i te glottis.

He aha te aukati reo? Kia mārama tātou.

He huarahi pai tēnei aukati reo kia mārama ai koe ki te āwhina a te aukati reo i a koe e kōrero ana.Whakamātauria te "Glottal Stop." Ka tīmata te nuinga o ngā oro i roto i tō glottis, kātahi ka haere te oro mā te wāhi i runga ake i te glottis, ki roto i ō sinuses, ki roto hoki i tō waha, ā, ka whiwhi i ōna āhuatanga motuhake. Engari ki te "Glottal Stop", ka tīmata te oro, ā, ka mutu ki roto i te glottis.

Hei hanga i te Glottal Stop, me whakamutu te ara o te hau i roto i te Glottis i a koe e whakaputa ana i te oro oropuare. Whakaarohia he rite ki te kī "uh-oh." Mēnā rānei, kīia te "t" i roto i te kupu "city" me te kore e kīia (si-e). Ina mahi koe i tēnei, ka wiri ō taura reo i te tīmatanga o te kupu, kātahi ka tere te kati i waenganui (hei tauira, i muri i te "a" i roto i te "a-uh" i muri rānei i te "si" i roto i te "si-e"). Ka whakamutua e koe te oro i roto i te Glottis. Inaianei, ngana ki te kī tika i te "t" i roto i te kupu "city". Ka karohia e koe te Glottal Stop.

Ngāna kia mārama ki te rerekētanga i waenga i te āhua o te oro ina mutu i roto i te glottis pēnei, me te āhua o te oro ina kōrerotia ngā kupu i te nuinga o te wā, engari kāore he oro.

Kei hea tonu tēnei glottis?

Kei muri i te kiriuhi tairoiti tō glottis, arā, te wheua i roto i tō korokoro, te aporo rānei o tō Adam. Kei waenganui i te pito o runga o tō larynx (e kiia nei ko te supraglottis) me te pito o raro (e kiia nei ko te subglottis).

• Supraglottis: Koinei te wāhi āhua-marama i mua o tō kaki e toro atu ana mai i te tihi o te wheua hyoid ki te glottis. Koinei te wāhi kei reira tō epiglottis, ā, kei reira anō hoki ngā kopa o te kiriuhi mucous (e kiia nei ko ngā kopa ventricular, e kiia ana i ētahi wā ko "ngā taura reo teka").
• Ngā Kōrotiti: Ka toro atu tēnei mai i te rohe o raro o te kōrotiti runga ki te rohe o runga o te kōrotiti raro.
• Kōrokoro iti: Ka toro atu tēnei mai i te raro o te kōrokoro ki te kiriuhi cricoid (he kiriuhi porowhita e karapoti ana i tō pūkahukahu).

He aha ngā wāhanga o te Glottis?

E rua ngā hanganga matua o te glottis: ko ō taura reo me te pūaha i waenganui i a rāua, arā, ko te rima glottidis .

• Ngā Taura Reo: Koinei ngā kiko uaua e rua e whakahaere ana i te teitei o tō reo (te teitei, te iti rānei). Ka puta he reo iti (pakari) i ngā taura reo matotoru, ā, ka puta he reo teitei (ngawari) i ngā taura reo iti, angiangi.
• Rima Glottidis:Koinei te pūaha i waenganui i ō taura reo. Ina tuwhera te rima glottidis, ka taea e te hau te haere mā roto i ngā taura reo. Ina kōrero koe, ka kati te rima glottidis. Ka neke te hau mā roto i ngā taura reo. I roto i tēnei āhua kati, ka hangaia he oro e ngā wiri e pā ana ki a rātou.

Kei roto hoki i tō kōpū he kiriuhi , he hononga , me ngā uaua e tautoko ana, e neke ana hoki i ō taura reo. Ko te teitei o tō reo ka whakatauhia e te rahi me te taumaha o ō taura reo, engari ko te āhua o tō whakahaere i aua mea ka pā ki tēnei. Hei tauira, ka taea e ēnei uaua te whakawhāiti, te whakangā rānei ina whai koe i tētahi reo manawa, ina waiata nui rānei.

He aha te āhua o te glottis?

Ki te taea e koe te titiro ki te glottis mai i runga ake, tera pea ka mahara koe ki te kanohi ngeru. Whakaarohia te rima glottidis hei te kamo pango i waenganui o te kanohi, me ngā taura reo hei te taha matau me te taha maui o taua kamo.

Ka rerekē te āhua o te glottis i runga i te mea kei te tuwhera, kei te kati rānei tō rima glottidis. Ina kati, ka honoa ngā taura reo, ā, ka rite ki te rārangi. Ina tuwhera te rima glottidis, ka kitea he āhua "V", me ngā taura reo e hanga ana i te taha maui me te taha matau o te "V".

He aha ngā mate me ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te glottis?

He maha ngā āhuatanga me ngā mate ka pā ki te glottis. Me titiro tātou ki ēnei āhuatanga:

• Te Pūngao o te Rākau: He momo pūngao o te rūrū tēnei. Ko te pūngao o te rūrū ko te wā e tino whaiti rawa ai tō rūrū. Tērā pea kei te whānau mai anō. Tērā pea ka puta i muri i te hanganga o ngā kiko koha nā te whara, te mate rānei.
• Te ngoikore o te reo: I tēnei āhuatanga, kāore ngā taura reo e kati tika ina kōrero koe. Ka piki ake te mōrearea o te kai me te inu ki roto i te puku o te manawa (te mimiti). Ka puta hoki ngā tohu pēnei i te reo pāorooro me te uaua ki te horomi.
• Matepukupuku o te korokoro: He momo matepukupuku o te korokoro tēnei. Ka tīmata te matepukupuku o te korokoro i roto i ō taura reo, i ngā kiko rānei e tautoko ana i a rātou i roto i te korokoro.

Waihoki, ko ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki ō taura reo ka pā ki te glottis. Ko ētahi o ēnei ko:

• Te mate pāwera (koinei te mate tino noa)
• Te whakawhāiti ohorere o te larynx (te whakapūtanga ohorere o te larynx)
• Te ngoikore o te uaua (Te ngoikore o te reo nā te ngoikore o te uaua)
• Te Edema a Reinke (he āhuatanga e pupuhi ai ngā taura reo)
• Te dysphonia spasmodic (ngā huringa reo i puta mai i te raruraru neurological i roto i ngā taura reo)
• Te Ārai i te Ara o te Roro (i mua ko te ngoikore o te taura reo)
• Ngā Pona, ngā Polyp, me ngā Cysts o te Taura Reo
• Pararutiki, Paresis rānei o te Taura Reo (Pararutiki, Paresis rānei o te Taura Reo)

He aha ngā tohu noa o te raruraru o te glottis?

Mena he mate tōu e pā ana ki tō glottis, ka pā pea ēnei tohu ki a koe:

• Te pāorooro, te rerekētanga rānei o te reo (Dysphonia)
• Te mamae, te kore whakamarie rānei i te wā e horomia ana, e kōrero ana rānei
• Korokoro mamae, maremare rānei
• Te uaua ki te horomi (Dysphagia)
• Te uaua ki te manawa (Dyspnea)

Mena kei a koe ēnei tohu, he pai ake te rapu tohutohu hauora.

He aha ngā whakamātautau e whakamahia whānuitia ana hei tirotiro i te hauora o te glottis?

I runga i ō tohumate, me toro atu pea koe ki tētahi tohunga hei tātaritanga i ngā mate e pā ana ki te glottis. Ka taea e ngā tohunga taringa, ihu, me te korokoro (ENT), ngā tohunga roro e rongoā ana i ngā mate o te pouaka reo, me ngā tohunga reo-kōrero (SLP) e tohunga ana ki tēnei te āwhina.

Ko ētahi whakamātautau ka hiahia pea koe ki te mahi:

• Ngā whakamātautau e whakamahi ana i tētahi kāmera motuhake hei tirotiro tata i ō glottis. Ko ētahi tauira ko te laryngoscopy me te videostroboscopy.
• Ngā whakamātautau whakaahua hei rapu i ngā āhuatanga rerekē o te hanganga. Hei tauira, he matawai CT (Computed Tomography Scan) he matawai MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) rānei.
• Ngā whakamātautau taiwhanga hei tirotiro mō te mate, pērā i ngā whakamātautau toto me te ahurea korokoro.
• Te tirotiro i tētahi tauira kiko hei tirotiro mēnā he tohu o te mate pukupuku. Ka kiia tēnei he koiora.

He aha ngā maimoatanga noa mō ngā mate e pā ana ki te glottis?

Anei ētahi maimoatanga noa:

• Ngā rongoā hei whakaiti i te mate me te pupuhi, hei whakamamae hoki i te mamae.
• Te Whakaora Reo .
• Te whakangāwari i te reo (kaua e kōrero, kaua e waiata).
• I ētahi wā, me mahi pokanga .

Me pēhea taku tiaki i aku glottis? (Hei whakamutunga, ngā mea hei maumahara)

Ko te tiaki pai i ō whekau reo he tikanga tēnei kia tiakina ō taura reo. Anei ētahi mea ka taea e koe te mahi:

• Āta karohia te kai tupeka, me te whakaiti i te inu waipiro:Ka piki ake te mōrearea o te mate pukupuku o te korokoro mā te whakamahi tupeka me te inu nui rawa i te waipiro. Ka maroke hoki ō taura reo i te momi hikareti me te waipiro, ka ngawari ake te pakaru.
• Kia Mau te Wai: Mā te noho mau te wai, kāore ō taura reo e mahi kaha ki te wiri. Mā tēnei ka māmā ake te whakamahi i tō reo, ā, ka iti ake te tūponotanga ka pakaru. Waihoki, mā te noho mau te wai ka āwhina i te whakamaroke i te hūpē ka hanga pea i roto i ō kōpū, ka māmā ake te horoi. Mā tēnei ka āwhina i a koe kia kore e maremare, e horoi rānei i tō korokoro. Kāore te maremare i te pai mō ō taura reo.
• Ārai i ngā mate manawa: Me mahi i ngā mahi hei ārai i te mate. Horoia ō ringaringa i ngā wā katoa, ā, me noho tawhiti atu i te hunga e pāngia ana e te makariri kia ora rā anō rātou.
• Me matara atu i ngā mea e kino ana ki tō korokoro: Me matara atu i ngā taiao he nui te puehu me ngā matū. Ka kino pea ēnei ki tō korokoro.
• Kaua e whakauaua tō reo: Ki te mea he pāorooro tō reo, he ngoikore rānei, ngana kia kaua e kōrero mō tētahi wā. Ki te hiahia tonu koe ki te kōrero, engari e hiahia ana koe ki te whakangāwari i tō reo, whakamahia he hopuoro.

Ahakoa te ahua māmā noa iho o te kupu "pouaka reo", he hanganga uaua tō korokoro me ētahi wāhanga, tae atu ki te glottis. Mā te mōhio ki ō glottis ka āwhina i a koe ki te mārama ake ki te mahi a ō taura reo. Ka āwhina hoki i a koe ki te tiaki pai i a rātou. Ahakoa he wāhanga iti tō glottis o tō korokoro, he mahi nui tā tēnei okana iti ki te āwhina i a koe ki te manawa, ki te kōrero, me te hanga i tō ake reo ahurei. Nō reira, he mea nui kia tiakina!

Ngā taura reo, te reo, te arai, te manawa, ngā mate korokoro, te pouaka reo
